Having the stance of: "We shouldn't nerf/buff payed weapons because people payed for them" is such a terrible road to go down.
World of Tanks had this very strict stance and it has absolutely ruined the game. Premium 'tanks' come out over tuned (or sometimes just completely trash) and are never touched for fear of backlash. Now every game is just spams of overpowered premium tanks that will never get nerfed.
